BOOK REVIEW:

Warsong

by Elizabeth Vaughan

CORINA’S REVIEW

I have read Elizabeth Vaughan’s writing since the very first time I laid my eyes on the Warprize trilogy, and at that time it really only was a trilogy. I was AMAZED, ADDICTED, and ASTONISHED that such a fantasy romance series even existed. By now I must have read the first three books a dozen times. They made me look for similar books, which made me pick up The Golden Dynasty – which started my Kristen Ashley obsession.

So, Elizabeth Vaughan’s books have a special place in my heart. I have them in paperback and ebook – just to be sure I always have them with me. Addicted MUCH!!

Being able to read the last book in this amazing series was bittersweet but also very satisfying. Because it all comes to a closure. Full circle.

Warsong was about Joden’s journey, a singer on his way to his trials, but it also was about so much more. The story continued with side arcs, visited beloved and favorite characters, continued the wyverns arc, and delivered an amazing twist I never saw coming. Joden’s journey and happy ending gave me the happy feel I came to rely one with this author. She gives her characters what they NEED, not necessarily what they want.:D And Joden has been one of my favorite characters since the beginning, so reading about his HEA made me very happy.

This is NOT a book you should jump into without reading book 1-5. Because of it’s detailed world, and many important characters, it’s crucial that you read from the very beginning. The author created an amazing world, a high fantasy that prims with fascinating characters, ROMANCE, and a society that left me wanting more.

Because Warsong is book 6 in this series, I’m not going into detail, all I can say is, if you love high fantasy with a great romance you must pick up this series. The first three books are about my favorite couple, the last three books are about three supporting characters that deserved their own happy ending. All six novels are about one continuing storyline and should be MUST READS for anyone that loves fantasy with a priority on romance.

If you read The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley, you MUST read Warprize, book1.

Warsong – Elizabeth Vaughan

BLURB

The magic has come back to the Plains. The Warrior Priests are no more. The traditions are changing—too quickly for some.

Joden has only ever wanted to be a Singer, to know all of the songs. When the time comes for his Trials, he is challenged to take the old paths—and it ends in disaster. But his broken heart and broken body are found by Amyu . . . and she knows what it is to live with pain.

Amyu should have gone to the snows long ago, but instead chose to live in shame. Cast out of her tribe, she now serves Queen Xylara and the Kingdom of Xy. Her new mission is to find the key to defeating the wyverns who attack from the sky—but can a girl from the Plains control beasts who soar in the air?

She knows that Joden has been brought to her by the winds, and they do what they will. Their love is forbidden by the Plains, and their dreams pull them in different directions—but together they heal each other. If only they could heal their people, who are struggling with the ultimate goal:
